Nonstandard Methods for Solving the Heat Equation

Probability 2018-06-07 v1

Abstract

We apply convergence results for discrete Markov chains, to prove the existence of an equilibrium limit in the nonstandard heat equation. We construct a nonstandard backward martingale from a nonstandard solution, and show, using the Feynman-Kac method, how to derive an explicit formula for such solutions, when the initial condition is S-continuous. Finally, we prove that that the nonstandard solution to the heat equation, with a smooth initial condition, specialises to the classical solution.
